Plant installation @ Ace Hotel, New Orleans

Ninth Ward Nursery recently worked with Austin-based interior designer Matt Tsang on a plant installation for an event at the Ace Hotel. It turned out beautifully and we were excited for the opportunity to collaborate.

Best part of the experience was working with the client to source the best, most cost-effective and visually appropriate plants. We installed trees (Eagleston hollies) to create an “indoor forest” effect, and added planters for additional height to help create a canopy-type effect.

Scariest part of the experience was holding up traffic in the middle of St. Charles Avenue to haul trees across the street! Sorry, streetcar-riders….
